The DrumMantra Podcast

Polymeter is becoming a buzzword, which is awesome! Polymeters are often confused for polyrhythms, which is not awesome. 

This episode goes IN-DEPTH with the features of polymeters, polymetric coordination, and polymetric relationships

There are many varieties of recording sessions. 

• Playing in your own band.
• Being hired to play with a band. 
• Being hired to play on an artist's record with other session players.
• Being hired to put tracks on a session from your home studio.
• More...

Hear Rich's reflections on his personal experience in the recording world over the past 25 years.

In this episode, Rich gives an overview of the features and highlights of the course that has made its way into the practice rooms of drummers in nearly 40 countries around the world.

This course started out as a drumming course but grew into a community of drummers all over the world.

This is a complete lesson on the 1-8 polymetric time table over groupings of three.

In this episode of "driving to my gig and talking about stuff" I compare the first part of my music career as a band person to the second part of my career as a professional musician.

In this episode, I discuss the 3:4 polymetric relationship, the difference between a polyrhythm and a polymeter, and some other deep intellectual stuff...

Enjoy!

In this episode I just straight into presenting, discussing, analyzing, and demonstrating the 5:4 polymeter as used in a brand new exercise from my book, The Foundational Series.

This advanced modification to Rhythmic Melodies Section III will dismantle your neural net and replace it with a new shiny mapping, but not without first turning your brain into oatmeal:-)

 In this episode I reflect on some gigs, and a recording session I just did. I also talk a little bit about the music industry from the perspective that most people don’t think about much. Then things turn a little philosophical as I reflect on social media And the creative expressions of all people.

In this episode, I talk about seeing the light on some aspects of the DrumMantra exercises and how that insight applies to the development of a more focused mind. 

In this episode, I reflect on the last couple weeks of my life, and then the philosopher in me took over. Maybe it’s that I was driving home from a gig late at night and needed something to keep me awake, but I think some good things came in the process.
